Apparently, it has been almost 30 years since I've talked to Billy. He's doing great, but I don't want to give too much away, y'know spoilers... Instead, I'll tell you a few things about the podcast... I enjoy doing it. I hadn't for a while after Busby left but I, like Stella, got my groove back...   I like having Feeney and Bocchini and I think they both bring a uniqueness that compliments the other as well as myself. However, bc we have a guest, they more or less didn't contribute this week so I'm fining them...   Larry Fine that is. For millennials, Larry Fine was an integral part of the Three Stooges...   nyuk nyuk!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-raven-effect--5166640/support.

Believe it or not, Raven was the only one who saw the whole thing! Yeah, that's not a typo. Raven loves AEW... no, this is not a rib, AEW is over with Raven. And yes that means he'll watch their show when it comes out. Crazy huh?
